Question

A cell phone plan charges $11.95 a month plus 8 cents a minute (m). What is the equation for the monthly cost (C)?

A) C = 0.08m + 11.95
B) C = 0.11.95m
C) C = 11.95 + 0.08m
D) C = 8m + 11.95

Answer 1

Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the monthly charge $11.95 then add the amount they charge per minute which is $0.08 (or 8cents) then multiply the 0.08 by m (where m equals minutes).

The equation is: C=11.95 + 0.08m

Answer 2

The monthly cost (C) of the cell phone plan is given by the equation C = 0.08m + 11.95, which is option A, where m represents the number of minutes used.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly cost (C) of a cell phone plan is given by the base charge plus the charge per minute times the number of minutes used. In this case, the base charge is $11.95 per month, and the cost per minute is 8 cents (or $0.08). Therefore, the equation representing the monthly cost as a function of the minutes used (m) would be:

C = 0.08m + 11.95

This corresponds to option A. The monthly cost increases by 8 cents for each additional minute used on top of the base charge.
